Jen’s Notes

We liked this one, but it might be just a wee bit overpriced, especially when you consider something like the Ariston, which packed a lot of bang into our 23 bucks. Nevertheless, this is a nice, refreshing bubbly, with some interesting (though not particularly concentrated) flavors: clean apple and citrus, with a slight licorice sweetness behind them, and a slightly burnt taste at the finish.
